the Member States to be established in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 15 of the
said Regulation and whereas the inform code to be used for the data transmission will be specified
by the Statistical Office of the European Communities in agreement with the Member States;

The importance of the structure survey results for the common agricultural policy and the growing

Committee on agricultural statistics,
